Maison de charme sur le lagon, avec jardin

Hamsaveni HaudreyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Nous avons passés 4 jours formidables dans la maison de Maud, avec ma famille et nos 2 chiens (grand et petit gabarit). Maud nous a si bien accueilli 🙏🏿 L’accès à la plage depuis la maison était juste géniale. La maison, les chambres, la cuisine et l'extérieur étaient top ! C’était nos premières vacances en AIR BNB et nous tenons à remercier Maud du fond du cœur de nous avoir permis de vivre cette belle expérience en famille et avec nos toutous.❤️🍀

Pura Vida AC Beachfront & Car Rental -20%diving

NadyaRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This rental home is probably one of the most unique that we have ever experienced. Incredible natural beauty, gorgeous views, refreshing outdoor bathrooms, etc. Felt like we are in nature while having the luxuries of civilization. Truly a memorable stay. Dave and his crew are helpful and accommodating. If we ever get out to Tofo again, we would love to stay here for an even longer duration.

Penthouse, beachfront, pool + housekeeping+ wifi

TaiyeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Che bellezza! Debra's gorgeous flat is precisely how it looks in the photos: airy, spacious, clean, quiet, with a beautiful view of the beach. What's more, my partner and I ran into an issue at the airport and had to push our trip back a day—and I've never known an AirBnB host to be more empathetic or responsive. Then there's Jackson. More than a caretaker, Jackson is deeply kind and hugely helpful host—a priceless concierge. With unfailing calm and charm, Jackson sorted us out with a tuktuk driver (request Salim!), an incredible chef (request Francis!), and when we left something behind, went above and beyond to have it shipped to Nairobi. AirBnB is full of magical properties, and I've been blessed to enjoy a fair few, but the experience that Jackson offers at Debra's flat in Malindi is one of a kind.

White House, beach cottage

SarahRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We lived our stay at the White House cottage. It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return. We are a family of four and it was perfect. The staff was so warm and helpful. Definitely hire the local chef recommendation. We had delicious food in the convenience of our own veranda looking at the ocean. The location right on the beach with the private, expansive grounds was perfect. The house has incredible views and is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend. If you have a big group, try to rent the White House next door and have an amazing holiday with family or friends.

Thank you Pwani Luxury for allowing my family and I to utilize your accommodation during our visit to Mombasa. This host was always responsive and willing to accommodate any requests that we had.

Luxury 3 Bedroom Sheba Apt, Galu Beach, Diani

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home — spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped. The bedrooms were cool and comfortable thanks to the air conditioning and fans, making nights by the beach relaxing and restful. The housekeeper Sylvia and the chef truly made our stay unforgettable. Their warmth and attention to detail made the house feel like home, and by the end of the trip, they genuinely felt like part of the family. The house has everything you need, including beach towels for both the semi-private pool and the beach, which is just a few steps away. Getting around was easy — we hopped on a tuk-tuk to explore the town and visit places like Stiltz, where we even got to feed bush babies! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily return in a heartbeat.

Maison vue des Iles.

Nous avons passé une semaine extraordinaire. La maison est spacieuse, bien équipée, joliment décorée et offrant une vue sur la mer, avec un accès direct à une petite crique. Nous sommes au bout du monde et avons juste envie d’y rester pour jouir de cet environnement tellement paisible et ressourçant. Déjà envie d’y retourner.

Stunning beachfront luxury apartment in Blue Bay

SarahRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Nous avons passé deux semaines magnifiques dans cet appartement. Il est encore plus impressionnant en vrai : la vue est sublime, et chaque matin offre un paysage digne d’un tableau. Dominique, en charge de l’entretien, a été exceptionnelle : discrète, disponible et très gentille. Son aide a été précieuse tout au long du séjour. Le lieu est parfait pour ceux qui recherchent du calme, de la sérénité et un vrai moment de déconnexion. L’hôte a également été très réactif et arrangeant, notamment pour l’arrivée et le départ, en s’adaptant parfaitement à nos horaires de vol — ce que nous avons grandement apprécié. En revanche, si vous prévoyez de nombreuses activités autres que nautiques (surtout en hiver), les environs accessibles à pied sont un peu limités, notamment pour ceux qui souhaitent une ambiance plus animée avec restaurants, bars ou lieux pour sortir. Malgré cela, c’est un endroit absolument idéal pour des vacances reposantes et dépaysantes. Nous repartons avec de merveilleux.

Kasa Pili - Ocean View Pool Villa + Generator

ThierryRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Nous avons découvert notre Eden, où la réalité du lieu dépasse la description de l'annonce. Une belle découverte avec un équilibre parfait entre la modernité des équipements, du design et la parfaite harmonie du lieu avec son environnement naturel (faune et flore tropicale) autour de la thématique de l'éco responsabilité. La vue de la terrase extérieure est à couper le souffle et nous transporte dans une rêverie éveillée. Quant aux hôtes, Karl et Salha, on peut difficilement faire mieux. Toujours à l'écoute, en essayant de trouver des solutions pour nous faciliter notre séjour et quelle réactivité. Une communication parfaite et des services supplémentaires proposés pour améliorer encore plus l'expérience ( chauffeur, guide local, cuisinière, massage à domicile, location de voiture amené directement au logement...). Bref le meilleur compromis entre les services d'un palace et la tranquillité dans le bien-être d'une location privée. On ne voulait plus en repartir, petit paradis

Spectacular Manola House – Beach 2 Min Walk

JuliaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Kjempefint hus med stort basseng! Perfekt for en storfamilie på tur. Kokken lagde alle måltider for oss, og vi var veldig fornøyd med maten. Helt herlig! Esther var der hver formiddag og rengjorde huset. Vi bestilte også massasje via henne, og det kom en hyggelig dame og masserte oss på stedet. Bassenget ble rengjort hver dag. Fint med gangavstand til stranden. Huset ligger i en gate med vakthold hele døgnet, både mot stranden og mot gaten. Alt føltes veldig trygt. Mikhail svarte raskt på henvendelser i forkant, og hjalp oss også med et legebesøk på grunn av en skade i løpet av turen. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake ved en senere anledning. Anbefales på det sterkeste!

Casa di Lilli - appartamento Mango

PiaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
Casa di Lilli är en pärla! Vår vistelse i Elisabettas vackra hus överträffade alla våra förväntningar. Läget är fantastiskt! Det är ett riktigt strandhus med en underbar altan och fantastisk vy över strand och hav. Ett perfekt ställe där vi kunde varva ner, koppla av och bada i det underbara havet. Huset är vackert och genomtänkt inrett, väl omhändertaget och mycket rent. Bra kök och köksredskap om man vill laga egen mat. Flera bra och trevliga restauranger finns precis bredvid. Under hela vistelsen blev vi oerhört väl omhändertagna av Theresa, en underbar kvinna som gjorde rent och fint för oss och alltid fanns tillgänglig om vi behövde något, tack för din omsorg! Ett stort tack till Abdul för din hjälp att arrangera saker för oss och fixa det vi behövde hjälp med, samt trevliga och informativa samtal! Tack Elisabetta för att vi fick bo i ditt underbara hus och för en genomgående mycket god kommunikation! Vi önskar att vi någon gång kommer tillbaka till detta paradis. Tack!

Beautiful apartment, exceeded our expectations! Freddie out on site host was friendly and attentive, always on hand if we needed anything- offering extra towels for our little girl when needed etc. A wonderful stay overall. A car is a must in this location but as we had one this was not a problem at all, lots of restaurants are in driving distance along with plenty of other beaches and local shops if required.

Steeve ist unfassbar hilfsbereit und gastfreundlich. Er hat uns mehrfach gefahren, ohne dafür etwas zu verlangen. Während unseres Aufenthaltes hat Steeve uns viele hilfreiche Tipps zu Unternehmungen und Restaurants gegeben. Er hat uns viele lokale Dinge und seinen eigenen Garten gezeigt. Wir konnten ihn durchgehend erreichen und er legt einen großen Wert darauf ein guter Host für seine Gäste zu sein. Wir kommen gern wieder zu Steeve!
